Operating instructions

39
If the closed circuit check shows thermocouple output is greater than 8 millivolts and pilot will not
remain lit when the reset button is released, replace safety pilot valve.
3. Thermocouple lead connections must be tight, clean, and free of grease. The thermocouple nut
should be started and turned all the way by hand. An additional quarter turn with a small wrench
will then be sufficient.
CAUTION: OVERTIGHTENING MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE THERMOCOUPLE OR
MAGNET AND IS UNNECESSARY SINCE THIS IS AN ELECTRIC CONNECTION.
OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES & PROBABALE CAUSES
OVEN PILOT BURNER GOES OUT:
1. Gas shut off.
2. Poor draft in flue snuffs out flame.
3. Too much draft pulls flame away from thermocouple.
4. Pilot flame too low.
5. Thermocouple defective.
6. Thermocouple connection on safety pilot loose.
7. Pilot orifice dirty.
8. Safety pilot valve defective.
9. Gas leak at pilot orifice fitting.
10. Restricted or plugged vent on gas pressure regulator.
OVEN BURNER FAILS TO COME ON (PILOT ON):
1. Burner valve off.
2. Burner orifice plugged.
3. Thermostat out of calibration.
4. Minimum flame adjustment closed and thermostat setting too low.
OVEN TEMPERATURE HIGHER THAN DIAL SETTING:
1. Oven thermostat out of calibration.
2. Minimum flame too high. (Do not lower under 1/8‖).
3. Broken capillary tube on thermostat.
4. Dirt under thermostat valve seat.
